I'll kill you , you stupid bird!
If everything is high priority, nothing is high priority!
I had a list of 30 items I had to prioritize with clients the other day. We ended up with about two dozen Priority 1s and the rest were 2s.
So I had to go back and say, "let's prioritize the 1s" and at least got them to agree to 1.A, 1.B, and 1.C.
This is why I really don't think absolute priority values work. I much prefer relative priority, i.e. dragging cards into an order.
Of course, the challenge with that is in clarifying that it's not a strict order in which tasks will be tackled.
You are a wizard.
I have had multiple managers who are incapable of understanding this.
